The enemy of my enemy is my friend.
I think the Marxists view the Muslims as useful idiots and sanction and support the Muslims attack on Western Civilization and capitalism. They have the same goals, destroy America, destroy capitalism, free markets and Western culture. I think the Marxists think they can 'ride' the success of the Muslims and then get rid of them in the end when America is destroyed.
They certainly are birds of a feather. Marxism/communism and Islam are both just centralized dictatorships whose goal is total control of the individual. Islam uses religion as a cover.
We have a two front war. . and Obama is the head of the spear.
Actually, No.
If you ever lived through the USSR era in your adulthood, you’d know that the Soviets never allowed Islam as a religion to surface or gain control in the USSR. Islam was the antithesis of what Soviets wanted or believed in.
It’s been mainly after the fall of the USSR that we’ve seen Islam or Islamism gain prominence on the world stage.
Although ‘Islamism’ exists since ““Sayyid Qutb and the Origins of Radical Islamism†in post #12 in this thread. The Soviets did their best to curb Islam and Islamism, even in the M.E.
I think we often confuse Islam or Islamism per Qutb’s stance which was against America and “materialism” - the latter as an ideology. Vast differences between Qutb, and today’s ISIS (Daesh) and mullahs in Iran.
